#55 | Myggy is a Gift: How Your Amygdala Tells You This Moment Matters
Show Notes

Ever had one of those "Monster in the Mirror" moments? You know, the ones where after screaming at the top of your lungs because your kid did something that made you livid, you end up in the bathroom, staring at your reflection in the mirror and asking yourself, "Who is THAT person?" That's definitely a Myggy Experience!

Becky Dozeman, a Licensed Social Worker and Therapist turned Life Coach, shares 5 steps to gaining control over the fight, flight, freeze response your amygdala is known for (in addition to highly entertaining detours loaded with Becky-isms). 

Becky effuses energy, joy, and optimism as she shares her unique method on how you can respond when Myggy shows up. Her tips include:

  • understanding how our internal narrative impacts judgment and overwhelm
  • embracing the gift of your amygdala signifying that this moment means something
  • discovering the difference between shame and guilt
  • identifying exactly what you may need in the moment -- to get through the moment (hint:  Keep the humans alive!)

Thank you, Becky for your generosity of time, your ability to combine Science, Story, & Scripture in easy-to-understand language, normalizing the functions of our brains.
